As with the USN, the French Navy certainly got its money's worth from their F-8 Crusaders. Here is a nice video clip of Aeronavale Crusaders from 12.F and 14.F Flottilles operating ashore, then bouncing and trapping aboard FS Clemenceau (R98):

What's going on is obvious to anybody familiar with naval aviation, but maybe our French-speaking forum members could post a few comments about the narrative. :)
 
From what I've understood it's just standard carrier trials narration. Most probably the same phrases you'd hear in a USN movie about carrier operations. :d
